But that would require me to buy both a new mouse, a new keyboard and maybe even a new HDD (are there even external HDD's that work via bluetooth?), but it will still fail on my PDA, as it is older than yours was...

And to keep it in mobileread land: is there even a Calibre app for the Ipad?

He would have a very narrow mind indeed, if he only considers his area...
